"I coached the student through Math on angles and angles sums of various polygons. She continues to do well with these recent geometry concepts. She had good and relevant notes readily available and got them out without prompting from me. After finishing the Math assignment, I checked for updated online grades with her. I gave some input about formatting and slogan-making as she made a poster, and I didn't leave until everything was printed, glued, paper-clipped, etc. I briefed the student's mom about the day's progress as I was leaving."

"We had a good session today. The student and I prepared for his upcoming test on Thursday. We reviewed fraction, integers, and some Geometry. He has a good attitude and is getting better at showing his work. "

"Great first session. We went over the beginning lessons; a general overview of major concepts such as the scientific method, ecosystems, and cell biology. We also started on atomic chemistry. The student is positive towards the material. She struggled most with understanding the basic concepts because she did not get a strong science foundation in high school. We spent most of our time going over concepts in detail to make sure she has the foundation."

"The student and I spent the entire session working on his math homework. This homework involved creating algebraic equations from word problems and then graphing said equations. He was able to quickly figure out the majority of the word problems, so we spent most of our time working on the graphing section. Right now, he is using a t-chart to graph linear equations, but we discussed how to graph the equation using the y-intercept and the slope. "

"We went over the student's recent English and History tests to see if she thought if she did well and she was well prepared. Her history teacher used material that was not listed on her review sheet, so she was not exactly pleased. Aside from that, she worked on her algebra and biology homework. She had very few problems with her algebra and did much of the work mentally. She only made a couple mistakes this way, but she said she would write out her work for a test. For biology, she was given a packet about the four major macromolecules and was quizzed on their distinctive features, examples of them, etc. For the few that she did not know, we researched them through her book and online. For the most part, however, she knew the answers. "

"The student and I resumed her practice test. She finished with 1:24 minutes to spare. She worked on reading comprehension. We discussed how the answer must be stated or implied in the passage. She underlined information that she felt was important. She went at a slower pace for this section, finishing the section right as the time ended. She had to rush a bit for the last reading selection. She worked on math achievement, as well. We will finish the section next time. We spent about 10 minutes talking about her essay. We dissected the prompt, and revised her outline. Then we discussed how narrative and expository essays should be structured."

"The main topics we worked on were graphing linear equations and system of inequalities. I taught the student the concept behind slope and y-intercepts. A study skill that I attempted to teach him was how to take effective notes. I recommended he keep a separate notebook for math and to title and date each one of his notes. He was receptive towards learning. "

"The student was struggling mainly with the concepts behind magnitude and direction. With some practice, she should have this pretty well understood. She was also struggling to recall laws of sine and cosine, so after doing a practice question, she should have understood where either law works best. She was very receptive to everything that was taught and was understanding it all quite well. Towards the end, I tried to quickly go over everything that was confusing regarding bearing, velocity, and speed, and I think she understood mostly all of it. Overall, she understands this subject very well and should do fine on her test. "

"The concepts we covered were the quadratic formula and writing a function in vertex form. The student needed help with when to use the quadratic formula. I provided her with a list of key words to look out for in a problem, which will indicate that the quadratic formula needs to be used."

"We covered chapter 5 in the student's textbook, but were only able to get through a couple of sections because it required more teaching. The topics we covered were solving systems of equations by graphing and substitution. He really understood the concepts and was able to grasp the ideas and succeed in solving problems on his own. He showed his work linearly and it helped keep everything neat. "

"The student and I finished reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel, and discussed it extensively. She took good notes. We also watched a video about a math concept that her teacher had posted. She engaged in discussion and note-taking. I'm confident that she understands the material for both subjects very well. "
